Here’s an app that is a good showcase for how AI can enhance an established use case. I use it at the very first line of idea capture in my custom-designed output strategy.

So, What’s Voicenotes?

The people runnning this business know what they are doing, IMO. The copy is spot on. The pricing is attractive (disclaimer: I bought it).

Says it all. And says it well.

How to Test It

This is how it should be: You can test or try out the app right there on the landing page. That’s the quickest, most immediate way.

You can also create an account and test the app in full, with one (generous) limitation: Your voicenote recordings are limited to 1 minute.

I used it in that way for a while, and found the limitation a sensible one: forced me to be somewhat concise. Also, you can thread notes now, adding a new note to an existing one.

What It Does

First off, the app transcribes your audio input and creates a title for the note. Optionally, you can edit the note, the title, attach files, etc.

The transcriptions are excellent. I am able to switch languages half way through and it still gets it right.

Transcriptions are really at another level these days.

The app is making connections and showing related notes. Here’s an example, with the related notes listed below:

You can also talk to and ask the AI about your notes. For example, here’s what I got asking about what I had done on tightops.com during September.

 In September, you accomplished several tasks for tightops.com including:

  • Figuring out how to publish new pages and articles, making it easier for future updates and expansions. You specifically published a new page and an article on September 23.
  • Implementing a living table of contents and sorting out SSH key issues for GitHub client integration. You also updated the signup page for the newsletter, creating a self-hosted page for AI Solutions Lab signups on September 22.
  • Publishing the augmented reading guide in its intended guide format and creating custom text boxes for prompts. You also addressed and fixed CSS issues related to build failures on September 24.

Why I Bought It

With the believer pricing being available, I upgraded after a couple of days of testing. The bet I’m making is not only that the app will continue to exist, but also that I’ll be using it for the idea capture part of my workflow of making output as easy as possible.
